                       will perfect you in all power and all fulnesses, from the interior of the interiors to the
                       exterior of the exteriors, from that Ineffable to the darkness of darknesses, so that ye

                       shall be called 'the fulnesses perfected in all gnoses.' Now, therefore, Mary, question
                       concerning what thou mayest question, and I will reveal it to thee with great joy and
                       great exultation."
                   3.  It came to pass then, when Mary had heard the Saviour say these words, that she
                       rejoiced in exceedingly great joy and exulted, and said: "My Lord, will then the men of
                       the world who have received the mysteries of the Light, be superior to the emanations

                       of the Treasury in thy kingdom? For I have heard thee say: If I lead you into the region of
                       those who have received the mysteries of the Light, then will the region of the
                       [emanations of the] Light-land count for you as a speck of dust because of the great
                       distance in which it is distant from it, and because of the great light in which it is,'--that

                       is the Light-land is the Treasury, the region of the emanations,--will therefore then, my
                       Lord, the men who have received the mysteries, be superior to the Light-land and
                       superior to those [emanations] in the kingdom of the Light?"




               CHAPTER 86
                   1.  And Jesus answered and said unto Mary: "Finely indeed dost thou question concerning
                       all with precision and certainty. But hearken, Mary, that I may speak with thee about

                       the consummation of the æon and the ascension of the universe. It will not yet take
                       place; but I have said unto you: 'If I lead you into the region of the inheritances of those
                       who shall receive the mystery of the Light, then will the Treasury of the Light, the region
                       of the emanations, count for you as a speck of dust only and as the light of the sun by
                       day.'


                   2.  "I have therefore said: 'This will take place at the time of the consummation [and] of the
                       ascension of the universe.' The twelve saviours of the Treasury and the twelve orders of
                       every one of them, which are the emanations of the seven Voices and of the five Trees,
                       they will be with me in the region of the inheritances of the Light; being kings with me in

                       my kingdom, and every one of them being king over his emanations, and moreover
                       every one of them being king according to his glory, the great according to his greatness
                       and the little according to his littleness.

                   3.  "And the saviour of the emanations of the first Voice will be in the region of the souls of
                       those who have received the first mystery of the First Mystery in my kingdom.

                   4.  "And the saviour of the emanations of the second Voice will be in the region of the souls
                       of those who have received the second mystery of the First Mystery.
